Here is the new illustrations for the Magazine "Lebenslust Emmental", summer and autumn 2025 issues

 


A canopy collapses on the pulpit at the end of a sermon...new illustration for Sandra Rutschi's new story about proverbs. This time it's about "Alle Gute kommt von oben" (All good things come from above). The story is really beautiful and funny, especially in the ending :-)

Thanks as always to Marie-Claire Hofstetter, Torfinn Rothenbuehler and Sandra Rutschi for their trust. 






Here is the cover of the autumn issue of Lebenslust Emmental and the illustration for Sandra Rutschi's new short story: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". 

New illustration for the spring issue of the Magazine "Lebenslust Emmental"

 


For the new story by Sandra Rutschi here is my new illustration: an old house in the architectural style of the Bernese countryside, with a garden and... a blooming rose, hidden behind a rose bush.

It was a special joy to paint this illustration, because it combined my passion for typical architecture with that for cottage gardens. Thanks as always to Marie-Claire Hofstetter, Torfinn Rothenbuehler, and Sandra Rutschi for their trust!

A woodcutter screaming towards a snowy forest: here is the illustration for the new short story by Sandra Rutschi "As you call into the forest, it echoes out". Many thanks to the suggestions and precious Art Direction of Marie-Claire Hofstetter!

And a review (from the back cover) by the famous wildlife photographer, and Bestseller author,

Frank Hecker, on the beautiful book by Verena Zürcher: 

"Ich bin schwer beeindruckt vom Umfang und von der Vielfältigkeit der Herangehensweise. Das gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut, erweitert meinen vielleicht zu biologischen Blick auf die Natur und macht im jeden Fall Lust auf genaueres Lesen. Die Illustrationen sind klasse. Ein tolles Buch."

("I am deeply impressed by the width and variety of the approach. I like that very much, it expands my perhaps too biological view of nature and definitely makes you want to read more deeply. The illustrations are marvellous. A wonderful book." The translation from the German is mine.)
